I've always been happy with my figure apart from...

I've always been happy with my figure apart from the size of my boobs. I finally decided to take the plunge and have breast augmentation 3 years ago & I could not be happier! Quite a few friends of friends recommended going to see Nigel Carver at Holly House in Essex & after looking him up online for reviews & to check that he was BAAPS registered I booked a consultation. He was brilliant, made me feel at ease, talked me through everything, answered all my questions, took measurements & was not rushed at all. Above all else, he completely listened & understood the look I wanted. I just wanted my boobs to fit with my frame (I'm 5ft 8 & have hips on me!) & to look very natural. I was a 32 full A / small B beforehand & wanted to be able to buy dresses that fit both top & bottom. My options were (I think) 280, 315 & 380. I was leaning towards the smaller ones as I was so worried about them looking fake but he uses anatomical implants and was going partially under the muscle & he said because of my height he would pick the 315. So glad I took his advice, definitely knows what he's talking about! The care I had whilst staying at Holly House for the op & 1 night stay was second to none - exceeded my expectations completely. My blood pressure went through the roof in recovery but they handled it so quickly all was back to normal in minutes it's just that my BP reacts rapidly to any kind of pain & I had a bit of a burning sensation where the incisions are. Gave me drugs, it disappeared & I was fine. I'm a baby with pain & I would only rate it a 4 out of 10. I can't say I had any pain after that at all, my boobs were just tight & a little sore. Everyone from the surgeon to the nurses to the reception staff were unbelievable. Everything healed up nicely & 3 years down the line my only regret is not doing it sooner! Happy to answer anyone's questions if you have any!

Nigel Carver was amazing. Listens to what you want, answers all of your questions, explains everything clearly & is very caring with a great sense of humour which puts you at ease. Above all else he gave me amazing boobs that I could only have dreamed of before! Will not hesitate to go back if they ever need redoing in years to come after kids etc.
